Ducks 2, Senators 1 (SO)

Bobby Ryan scored in a shootout to lift the Ducks over Ottawa, 2-1, on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Place.

Jonas Hiller made 39 saves and stopped three shootout attempts for the Ducks, who have won five of their past six games and eight of their past 10.

Hiller stopped Daniel Alfredsson, Mike Fisher and Erik Karlsson to seal the victory after Ryan scored on a wrist shot in the second round.

Ottawa tied it at 1 with 1:41 to go in the second period when Fisher put in a rebound off Hiller's right pad after the Ducks couldn't get the puck away from a fallen Milan Michalek and out of their zone.

The Senators outshot the Ducks, 13-3, in the second, and 40-27, in regulation and overtime. Brian Elliott made 26 saves for the Ottawa, winless in seven overtime or shootout games this season.

Corey Perry roofed a backhand while falling down in the first period, after Ryan threw the puck on net, for his 24th goal this season.

Teemu Selanne hit the right post with 35 seconds to go in regulation.

Defenseman Paul Mara was in the lineup for the first time since Dec.18. Andreas Lilja, Sheldon Brookbank and Kyle Chipchura were scratched.
